Wide receivers
Keepers: Deion Branch, Bobby Engram, Nate Burleson, Courtney Taylor, Ben Obomanu. In-betweeners: Logan Payne, Jordan Kent, Michael Bumpus. Goners: Joel Filani, Trent Shelton, Bryan Gilmore.
Comment: The club will have to carry at least one injured receiver (Engram) and likely a second (Branch), so that will force them to keep another extra wide-out or two on the 53-man roster. If it’s two, there’s no tough decision to be made between Payne and Kent. Bumpus should end up on the practice squad.

Running backs
Keepers: Julius Jones, Maurice Morris, Leonard Weaver, Owen Schmitt. In-betweeners: Justin Forsett and T.J. Duckett. Goner: David Kirtman.
Comment: Coach Mike Holmgren likes to keep a combination of 11 wide receivers and running backs – usually six and five. But the injuries to Engram and Branch have tweaked that. If they keep Forsett and Duckett, they’ll have to “steal” a roster spot from somewhere else. They simply can’t let Forsett get away, and another team will grab him if they try stashing him on the practice squad.

Tight ends
Keepers: John Carlson, Will Heller, Jeb Putzier. Goner: Joe Newton.
Comment: Newton won’t be gone for long, because the club can start compiling its eight-man practice squad next Sunday.

Defense
Line
Keepers: LE Patrick Kerney, DT Rocky Bernard, DT Brandon Mebane, RE Lawrence Jackson, DE Darryl Tapp, DT Craig Terrill, DT Red Bryant, DT Howard Green. In-betweeners: DE Jason Babin, DE Baraka Atkins. Goners: DE Chris Cooper, DT Larry Tripplett, DT Kevin Brown, DE Nu’u Tafisi.
Comment: Babin is having a hey-don’t-forget-about-me summer, and the club does need a fourth end to use in the rotation. But Green also has played his way into a roster spot. Keeping 10 linemen, however, is a luxury they likely can’t afford because of the situation at wide receiver. Cooper and Tripplett are still injured.
